Actually, IIRC, the research is fairly clear . . .

that RELIGIOUS affinities, allegiances, choices

have . . . overtly . . . nothing to do

with any objective criteria over rightness or wrongness of a set of dogma . . .

instead, they virtually always have to do with relational/emotional/psychodynamic motivations for change.

I’m fairly confident that all the ‘changers’ both directions have a lot of confirmation of that

if and when

they are

able

and

willing

to face

such facts.

So you've finally cracked the Pauline conversion!

Congratulations!

I understand many lesser scholars have actually been duped into accepting the validity of Christianity based on their inability to discern with your acumen!
